Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of bone mineral density (BMD), bone mineral content (BMC), and bone turnover markers in obese postmenopausal women. In this cross-sectional study, 81 postmenopausal women aged 58.40 ± 6.08 years were analyzed. Anthropometric parameters were recorded. Serum glucose parameters, serum lipid profiles, adipokines, renal, hepatic parameters, and bone markers concentrations were determined by well-validated laboratory routine methods. BMD, BMC, and body composition were measured by Dual X-ray Absorptiometry. We found a significant correlation of BMD with age, years since menopause, anthropometric parameters, glycemia, alkaline phosphatase, fat mass, and lean mass. Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that years since menopause, waist circumference, alkaline phosphatase, trunk fat, and lean mass were independently associated to BMD. Also, age, years since menopause, anthropometric parameters, total cholesterol, alkaline phosphatase, fat mass, and lean mass were correlated to BMC. However, only waist circumference and trunk fat were independently related to BMC. Bone turnover markers were significantly correlated to the age, glycemia, HbA1c, adipokines, hepatic parameters, and lean mass. Nevertheless, only adipokines, gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT), and alkaline phosphatase were independently associated to bone turnover markers. These observations suggest that number of years since menopause, waist circumference, alkaline phosphatase, trunk fat, and lean mass were the only significant predictors of BMD. However, waist circumference seems to be a stronger predictor than trunk fat for BMC. Moreover, adiponectin, resistin, GGT, and alkaline phosphatase were significant predictors of the bone resorption (CTX-I) and the bone formation (P1NP) markers.
